Prayer Request

Everyone here is doing well, Ben continues to adjust and is doing better (most days) with being nice to Shayle. Arron and Myranda are away at church camp in New Mexico this week. As a part of the camp their youth group is having VBS at a local housing project, which we have been told is not open to the Gospel. Please pray with me this week for Arron and Myranda to grow even closer to God, to have a life changing experience while teaching these children and for the kids who will attend VBS to have an open heart to hear about Jesus. I have been praying for a couple of weeks for those who God will bring to VBS and for them to be receptive as well as our youth that will be teaching them God's Word, some of which have never heard the name "Jesus".

Also, my grandmother will be having a second heart surgery on Wednesday, 7/14. She had a tripple by-pass five years ago. She is now needing a stint to be placed in and her aortic valve replaced. Turns out, her aortic valve has never been the way is should be, she has had a heart defect all of her life with a small heart murmur. She is 77 yrs old and I am very close to her. She was the one who led me to my Savior over 31 years ago. I will forever be greatful to her. She is nervous as her sister just passed away in April after her heart surgery. Please lift her up for her to have peace like never before, for the doctors to be guided by The Great Physician and for her recovery. She had some trouble with her breathing and lungs after surgery last time and is concerned about that this time.

Last time, I was able to be at the hospital the entire time for her surgery, but this time I won't be able to be there the day of surgery. Ben would not be happy if he couldn't be with his mommy for an entire day and my grandmother understands this. Our family did get to go have dinner with her last week and she met Ben. Tomorrow we are going to go see her in Dallas at the hospital as Darrel will be able to go with me and entertain Ben in the waiting room. I hope to be able to go visit her again later in the week once she is out of ICU and into a room on the floor.
